As an ongoing effort, Shure is hard at work reducing our carbon footprint and elevating sustainability with significant focus.
Packaging is a key component of this focus, as Shure recognizes that environmental responsibility takes serious commitment. With an aim to both educate consumers as to best practices, and align with global compliance standards, Shure has undertaken the effort to update all packaging components with the appropriate recycling symbols that match their material composition.
Look for the recycling code on your packaging components. Refer to the table below and follow the recycling instructions as noted locally in your region to support sustainability efforts and best practices worldwide.
